Sour Sister

They are just more items on her list of ways she thinks she has been left behind.
Karen’s strategy has always been to show up late to family holidays, glued to her phone, as if absence makes her more important. The parents, still living and still wondering why they bothered, get to watch Karen twist every childhood memory into a property claim. She has already divided their estate in her mind, with herself in the starring role for both mountain summers and desert winters. When reminded that the inheritance will be shared, Karen storms off and starts telling anyone who will listen that she’s been erased from the family entirely.
Meanwhile, her younger sister actually does the work: supporting parents through illness, managing her own health crises, and keeping the family afloat while Karen narrates her own tragedy to anyone who needs background noise.
Karen never visits, never helps, but always finds a new way to make her disappointment the center of the universe.
